FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Providing critical insight into the globalization of product conception, production, marketing and distribution, this Handbook comprehensively explores the functioning of global value chains (GVCs) and how they shape the global economy. It provides theoretical, analytical and empirically based policy-relevant tools to understand international production and trade in the modern global economy. Written by a multidisciplinary group of leading scholars, this Handbook offers expert guidance on GVC analysis and the relationship between GVCs and governance, power relations, gender, upgrading and international development. The contributors also provide insight into strategy, innovation and learning, highlighting the dynamism and resilience of GVCs, and critically reflect on how GVCs affect inequality and the nature of work and production. Comprising empirically rich and innovative research, this Handbook will be critical reading for advanced undergraduate and master's level students interested in international business, global industries, sustainable development and the governance of global production systems. Academics researching and teaching in these fields will also benefit from this book's broad and comprehensive approach to GVC analysis.

Review

'Finally, an encyclopaedia of global value chains. This collection of essays establishes the state of the art in knowledge on the industrial form - the GVC - that has transformed capitalism for better and worse and which is at the centre of contemporary scholarship and policy debates on economic development, distributive justice and international trade. This is an essential collection of essays that covers the micro and macro dimensions of the global value chain, including implications for gender equality, technological innovation and social activism. I guarantee that I (and my students) will be using this volume as a go-to reference book for years to come.'--William Milberg, The New School for Social Research, US'This is the book on global value chains. With contributions from many leading lights of the GVC approach, and rising star early career academics, it provides a comprehensive understanding of the analysis of power, governance and distributive outcomes of globalisation in trade and production, and identifies key challenges for GVC research in the 21st century.'--Khalid Nadvi, University of Manchester, UK
